31. C. papulosus Fr.— Pileus 6-9 cent. (2^-3^ in.) broad, 

 honey-tan-colour at the circumference, always darker (ferrugin- 

 ous or fuscous) at the disc, fleshy, at first convex, obtuse, then 

 plane and at length depressed (disc here and there gibbous), 

 smooth, viscid ; the cuticle breaking up into minute, granular, 

 fuscous patches when dry; flesh white, thick at the disc, thin at 

 the margin. Stem 7.5 cent. (3 in.) long, 1-2.5 cent. {%-i in.) 

 or a little more thick, solid, firm, wholly fleshy within, equal or 

 thickened at the base, densely fibrillose, but quite naked at the 

 apex, white. Cortina inferior, very fugacious, white. Gills 

 adnato-decurrent, crowded, slightly joined behind, but at length 

 separating from the stem in older specimens and forming a 

 spurious collar, 4-6 mm. (2-3 lin.) broad, at the first pallid, soon
